Orphaned Pets
Many pets lost their owners in Tuesday's terrorist attack.
There is an Animal Disaster Relief Fund to help groups rescue these pets from homes that their people are never going to return to and place them with a new family.
Several groups are going to homes of victims and retrieving pets from lower Manhattan.
Search and rescue dogs also need help. Many of them are rapidly going through their protective "boots" as they try to find survivors in the mangled mess.
Groups involved in helping rescue/care for animals in New York
The Center for Animal Care and Control (CACC)
